À l'accélération et à l'oubli
A dyer and textile designer based in Lauris in the Luberon region, Lise Camoin has been exploring natural dyeing for over fifteen years, a practice she also teaches through the Scop Couleur Garance. After studying history at the Université d’Avignon, she trained for three years as a decorative painter, developing a strong understanding of color harmony. Her discovery of natural dyeing in 2010 marked a turning point, offering her a personal field of research in which nature and color became inseparable. She has presented her work at Paris Design Week (2020, 2021) and at the Quercus Suber competition at Villa Noailles in 2023.
Her work, deeply rooted in her local landscape, draws on Mediterranean influences and is enriched by several training stays in Japan. Lise Camoin develops low-impact textiles in which line serves as a recurring graphic element, first through dyed wool threads applied onto canvas, and later through the use of Provençal reed. This local material, harvested from her own garden, allows her to capture the natural movement of leaves and to create textile surfaces close to basketry and weaving, revealing the plastic and poetic qualities of plant forms.
